It's official: The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5, and excitement is building as we've just seen a comprehensive Nintendo Direct showcasing new games and details about the Switch 2's hardware. With the launch date approaching, preorders for essential accessories have begun, including microSD Express cards, which are the only compatible storage cards for the new console.
GameStop has stepped up to meet the demand with their own line of microSD Express cards available for preorder. These cards are crucial for those looking to expand their storage beyond the Switch 2's built-in 256GB, which is a significant upgrade from the original Switch's 32GB. Whether you're a collector of games or just want to ensure you have enough space for your favorites, securing one of these cards is a smart move.
